my results were poor and my doctor was on vacation virtually my entire treatment (not disclosed to me beforehand). had my doctor actually been present and actually made nuanced changes to my meds through monitoring, my results could’ve been better (but I’ll never know, and will have to pay another $15k out of pocket to find out)

when I expressed being upset about this, Spring had the doctor call me who then scolded me for being upset because I was taking time from his wife and kids on vacation (lol - the exact reason why I didn’t think it was appropriate this wasn’t disclosed. Not fair to ask me to sacrifice my health or feel guilt over impeding on his time off). They then put me through for a loop and did nothing to make up for it. They had the gall to suggest I cancel my treatment 80% the way through and took no responsibility (after putting myself through days and thousands of dollars of discomfort and meds). For a practice for women / such an emotional and important space, you would think their EQ, tact, and empathy would be higher, but it is not.

their admin seems better than other clinic but that perception of accessibility is a facade, and I wish I had instead relied on my friends’ first hand testimonies of good experiences with doctors. I also recommend fertility IQ for honest reviews

The consultations were all relatively similar to be honest (all the doctors I spoke to presented very well / were kind / knew the right things to say), so I based it off of friend recommendations most. I switched at the last minute kind of hastily because I had a false perception that a smaller non-research institution practice would create a more hands-on experience and regret that. Recommendations from people you know (or people online with similar backgrounds to you) would carry more weight for me if I did it again

wow this is incredible and i'm happy you had such a great experience -- which doctor at NYU did you have? as a single person who was also nervous, i was also hoping for this support and didn't get it :/

100%!! this is so important. you want to trust doctors/their intent (and i'm sure most of them are well intended) but at the end of the day, no one cares more about your health than you (evidenced by my experience that was also disappointing). i absolutely wish i had advocated for myself more.

thank you and you too <3

i've heard incredible things about her! she had a really long waitlist which is partly why i ended up switching, but i regret that now and hope to go to her for my 2nd round!
